Abstract

A tibial trial assembly for evaluating the stability and kinematics of a tibial implant prior to committing to the final preparation of the proximal tibia is described. The tibial trail assembly includes a trial tray (12) adapted to be secured onto a resected proximal end of a patient's tibia. An evaluation bullet (60,80) is adapted to removably fit into a configured recess in the trial tray. A trunnion (68,88) on the evaluation bullet (60,80) accepts a recess in a corresponding articular tibial insert trial (100,110). The tibial insert trial (100,110) is thus received on the trunnion (68,88). In one form, the evaluation bullet (60,80) allows the tibial insert trial (100,110) to move, such as rotate, thereon for checking a mobile bearing implant. This evaluation bullet (60,80) is temporarily fixed to the resected tibia portion, preferably via spikes (85,87). In another form, the evaluation bullet (60,80) does not allow the tibial insert trial (100,110) to rotate for checking a fixed bearing implant.
